Now that APNIC has distributed all remaining IPv4 addresses, will this result in a significant increase in IPv6 takeip in Asia-Pacific? With RIPE expected to release all remaining IPv4 addresses by the end of 2011, will 2012 be the year Europe 'gets' IPv6?

Project Rationale Today, more than 95% of Internet traffic is generated by a small number of data sources – i.e. the world’s busiest Web Sites Without IPv6 accessible content, IPv6 has no chance of being used - ever. Take the 1 Million most popular Web site list from alexa.com as a starting point for the domains to be tested. Add more domains later. Test them for IPv6 connectivity This is equivalent to testing about 6.3 million hosts worldwide Use GeoIP database to estimate real host locationPage 3 IPv6 Matrix Project - http://www.ipv6matrix.org

What are we tracking? Host IPv6 penetration Using IPv4 Geo-location coordinates Includes generic TLD (gTLDs, .com, .net, .org) and country code ccTLDs Two types of information: Infrastructure: DNS + Web + E-mail + Time server (NTP) This tracks all of the infrastructure required to run IPv6 Web services Web sites only (actual content) This tracks the Web services themselves. Usually this percentage is lower than the figure for the infrastructurePage 6 IPv6 Matrix Project - http://www.ipv6matrix.org

7.
What are we archiving? Everything that we are tracking on the previous page, plus: Testing of connectivity to the above services in case IPv6 addresses are advertised but no service runs on them Tracing of route from London Docklands to each one of these hosts both using IPv4 and IPv6 – and archiving all of this information in text format A lot more data, accessible from the Web site archive In April 2011, the size of this database in text format is approx 60Gb and continually increasing (the testing software runs 24/7)Page 7 IPv6 Matrix Project - http://www.ipv6matrix.org

Asia Trends Singapore leading by far in infrastructure but trailing in dual-stack Web Site content China results abnormally very low – content not dual stacked or IPv6 behind firewall? Less reliability of results due to smaller sample size in many countries of the regionPage 17 IPv6 Matrix Project - http://www.ipv6matrix.org

22.
Africa Trends Very few countries with IPv6 connectivity Dual Stack Islands starting to appear Can be compared with the growth of Internet connectivity in the ninetiesPage 22 IPv6 Matrix Project - http://www.ipv6matrix.org

28.
America Trends North America trailing behind Europe Elsewhere, data based on low number of Web sites, needs to be taken in moderation (the restricted number of hosting providers can make figures jump several percentage points)Page 28 IPv6 Matrix Project - http://www.ipv6matrix.org

29.
Worldwide Trends We are seeing a slow growth in dual stack IPv4-IPv6 implementation The figures are still very small There is a small decrease in percentage in some countries, which would point to unstable peering agreements (the IPv6 network is less closely meshed than the IPv4 network) Bearing in mind the Asia Pacific Regional Internet Registry has run out of IPv4 addresses, it is alarming to see so few Web sites up and running IPv6 in that region.Page 29 IPv6 Matrix Project - http://www.ipv6matrix.org

Future work / funding required Add more domains to be tested Add more features to be tested Current front end Web Pages are only an example of possible analysis Develop new data visualisation Perform further analysis Perform historical/time analysis from archives Develop an engine to write automated reports Duplicate Crawler to other regionsPage 30 IPv6 Matrix Project - http://www.ipv6matrix.org
